Rex Heuermann's Confession to Victoria: Gilgo Beach Revealed

Rex Heuermann asked to confess to his daughter before he confessed to the world. That was one of his conditions for taking the plea — private meetings with Victoria and Asa before the public allocution. He wanted to control how his family heard the truth.

Even in confession, Rex was managing the narrative. Victoria walked into that jailhouse room and saw her father handcuffed to a chair. She said he looked nervous — the first time she'd ever seen him that way. She called him Dad. She asked how many women he killed. He said eight. She asked if any were killed in the house. He said yes — all except one. He said Sandra Costilla was killed in the Dodge Ram Charger that Victoria rode in as a child. He told her about the planning document. He said he took two photos during the killings and destroyed them. He said he didn't see the victims as human. And when Victoria asked if he ever thought about her while he was doing it, he said no. The two worlds never crossed. Victoria took all of that in. And then she said she forgives him. She said she can't move forward unless she does.

Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins me to analyze what Rex's private confession to his daughter reveals about the psychology of both father and child — why Rex needed to control how Victoria learned the truth, what his carefully managed disclosure tells us about the narcissism that drives him, and how Victoria's response reflects a young woman navigating an emotional landscape that has no roadmap and no precedent.
